After leaving that fine institution that is St. Josephs College in Borrisoleigh, I went to college in Cork<\/a> where I sat in a class where other people studied accountancy.

Moved home<\/a>, leased pub from parents, went travelling again. To Greece, to France, home again, various jobs, travelled some more, did more stuff in different places, moved to Oz<\/a> for a year, worked\/managed pub<\/a> for 4 years, left that, went to Western Australia<\/a>, picked water melons and worked in lobster factory<\/a>.
